At The Chase Home, we believe every young person deserves to begin the school year feeling prepared, supported, and hopeful. That’s why we’re holding our annual Back-to-School Success Drive 2026—and we need your help to make it happen.
Help Set Local Youth Up for a Successful School Year! Join The Chase Home’s Back-to-School Success Drive 2026!
As summer winds down and the school year approaches, The Chase Home is kicking off our Back-to-School Success Drive 2026 and we need your help to make it a success!
Each year, we support dozens of resilient young people who will be calling Chase Home their own during the school year. These youth face extraordinary challenges, many far beyond what most teens ever experience. But with your support, we can remove one major barrier by helping them head back to school with confidence, dignity, and the essentials they need to succeed.
Their greatest need is donate gift cards.
Why gift cards? Because they empower these youth to shop for themselves. Choosing clothing, shoes, backpacks, and supplies that reflect their style and needs, all with the encouragement of trusted Chase Home staff, family members, or mentors. Through a gift card, you create a chance for them to feel seen, supported, and ready to start the year strong.
Here is How You Can Help:
Donate gift cards from stores like Walmart, TJ Max/ Marshalls, Target, Amazon, Old Navy, Staples, Michaels, or other local retailers. See full list of gift cards and download a flyer here!
Host a gift-card drive with your workplace, school, business, or friend group. Reach out to our Development Team to get started!
Make a one-time donation or give monthly to join our HONOR ROLL so we can purchase cards, clothing and more for kids in need year-round.
Spread the word! Share this initiative on social media or talk to your network.
- Donate an item from our Back-to-School Amazon Wishlist! Help us stay stocked on school materials.
Your generosity will make a real difference in a young person’s life.
You show these youth and families they’re not alone. Together, we can give them the confidence and tools to start the school year feeling prepared, proud, and hopeful.
Join us in making back-to-school a little brighter.
Gift cards can be dropped off or sent to The Chase Home at 698 Middle Road, Portsmouth NH. Please kindly fill out an in-kind form so we are able to record your contribution and thank you for your support!
